Reliable and loaded with features, but the UI is outdated
The entire UI/UX of the solution can be improved drastically. When I give a new employee, aged 19 and recently graduated, the solution, they are not enthused to use it on a daily basis. Ramco HCM looks outdated and is not as intuitive as it should be. I want to create an easier experience for new generations who come to work with me, with fewer scrolls, clicks, and pages to navigate. The optimization should be available with the minimum number of clicks. This is why I believe UI/UX is the most important element. I would love to see an intuitive web interface for the app, which would enable each user to easily manage and govern their data.

We benefit from built-in automations like notifications and standard processes, but customer support needs improvement
Learning Sympa HR was a mix of basics that were easy to grasp and some aspects that required more understanding due to customization. While it adapted to some of our specific needs, there were still areas that needed further tailoring, especially in integrations with other systems like Zoom. Currently, we're not using AI features in Sympa, but we're considering it as a future project to automate manual tasks in HR, although we're mindful of data privacy concerns when integrating AI tools with confidential personal data. I would rate Sympa HR at a seven out of ten. While it has some fundamental issues like allowing multiple leave applications for the same dates, it also offers a nice user experience. I would recommend it with reservations. If you're clear about your needs and can manage some shortcomings, it's a good option. However, if you require more reliable system support, you might want to explore other alternatives.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Ramco HCM is a stable system that doesn't have downtime or fluctuation issues. It can also take large volumes and scale up very fast."
"Once we implemented this solution, it was customizable for our needs and this has been the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"If the implementation is without modification for any of the modules, it’s really simple using their QiK tool; the implementation takes around 2-3 months to go live."
"It is a complete HCM suite from hire to retire that streamlines business requirements."
"Once we implemented this solution, it was customizable for our needs and this has been the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"Payroll processing is very easy. SQL rules can be attached to any pay elements."
"Ramco HCM stands out due to its reliability and up-to-date compliance with legal, statutory, and regulatory requirements."
"The performance management system is really good."
"One of my favorite features of Sympa HR is its customization options. You can tailor it to meet your specific needs, which is really beneficial for HR processes."
"Sympa HR was helpful since it helped me manage HR master data in a single system."
 

Cons

"Ramco could be a bit faster and offer more use cases. A prime aim is to get analytics and this is lacking in Ramco. This lack of reporting is one of the reasons we are moving away from using Ramco."
"I would like to see the flexibility to create reports suitable to the company because the standard reports from Ramco are so conservative."
"The mobile app for this solution could be improved as it lacks many features."
"The product itself sometimes feels inconsistent because it comes with bugs."
"The one area where I would like to see some improvement would be the mobile app and web page user experience which could be more user friendly."
"One area for improvement in Ramco HCM is its UI, which could be more intuitive. Another area for improvement in the system is that it can be challenging to make some modular-based changes to it."
"They can improve the configuration time because it takes more time than other products to configure the system."
"I would say that there is a lot of room for improvement. They should improve their consistency; the product itself sometimes feels inconsistent because it comes with bugs."
"As a developer, I can say that some of Sympa HR's back-end functionalities, like the API systems, aren't fully fledged or modern enough, a downside of which Sympa is aware."
"Sympa HR has some fundamental issues like allowing multiple leave applications for the same dates. That needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am not aware of the price because I was working in the implementation team, but pricing is generally based on the requirement, modules, headcount, and country."
"Their customized solution is pretty expensive but much cheaper than its competitors."
"This solution is priced in the middle compared to other solutions on the market."
